Rebore on a mini-lathe!!!
#10
+1 for a BOXFORD Model AUD. There are also long bed varieties (39" long ??). They also come in Imperial or Metric lead screw versions. Mine is imperial and i use a 100/127 tooth conversion gear set for cutting metric threads. Although the AUD has a gear box, when cutting metric threads, you may need a couple of extra gears, but these appear on auction sites. IMPORTANT, when you buy a lathe, you need various chucks, tools, centres and centre drills etc. Often a second hand machine has these, whereas new ones may not have them. The attachments can add up to a hefty bill !

The standard Boxford comes with a plain cross slide (Without "T" slots) whereas the Myford has these as standard. Slotted cross slides are available for a Boxford and can be invaluable when doing "in-line boring" such as big ends on con rods etc. However, the Boxford was made industrial strength whereas the Myford in my opinion is Hobby Strength - (Wait for the shrapnel to start falling any time now !).
BobH - Boxford used for 50 years or so.
